Smith water heaters (three natural‑gas units and two propane units) that meet specific ASME‑certified performance criteria. The contract is a one‑time, fixed‑price purchase with delivery required within 30 days of order issuance. This opportunity is best suited for manufacturers or authorized distributors of commercial water heating equipment who can meet the “no‑equal” model specifications and comply with state vendor registration requirements.

• Must meet ASME certification, 300‑400 kBTU/hr input, 80 %+ thermal efficiency, and specific installation dimensions.
• Delivery to the Department of Corrections facilities in Columbia, SC, within 30 days after purchase order receipt.
• Vendor must be a registered South Carolina vendor, provide a firm fixed price, and adhere to all state procurement clauses (prompt‑payment discount, tax handling, warranty, etc.).
• Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder; contract value is not disclosed but is expected to be modest.
